Well, I have been enjoying myself as we have been spending some time with my family. As we prepared to leave to come spend time with my family I made a list of things I needed to bring, per my usual, and I had all my ducks in a row and we were on our way.
I knew that I needed to stop at the grocery store to buy an onion and a box of ginger snaps so as we were on the way to the store I remembered I forgot my retainers but I figured oh well I don't care it's not that big of a deal. So we went onto the store got the 2 items we needed and got on the freeway and kept going. We were maybe 5 miles from home and I then realized we didn't have our swim stuff and I REALLY wanted to go in the spa at the resort but I so desperately did not want to turn around so we continued on. One and half hours later we arrived at our destination still not realizing the one really important thing that never made it in the car.
A couple hours after we got to the resort I left to go see a good friend of mine who just had a baby I spent a couple hours there. About 6:30pm (mind you we left at about 9:30 in the morning) I get a call from Bryan asking me where the ham is?? I told him I didn't know, because I truly didn't! I started thinking when we were getting everything together I got everything together including taking the ham out of the refrigerator and setting it on the kitchen counter!!!! Are you getting where this is going??? So all this is coming back to me and I am getting frustrated at myself for leaving the cotton pickin ham at home!!! We drove all this way and wouldn't be home for a while with the ham sitting there. We do have a local friend who could have gone in the house to put it away for us however we locked the gate and she doesn't have that key! GGGRRRR!!! $23 down the drain! So I went to the Ralphs local to my friend and they had sold out of hams at 3pm and it was 7pm so I called Bryan and asked him to go the Ralphs closer to where the resort is and THANKFULLY we got to spend ANOTHER $23 on ANOTHER ham. Talk about all the stupid things you can do this is one of them. Forgetting the most main ingredient is really not wise!!! ;)
All in all, we had a great dinner and dessert! I think we had as many choices for dessert as we did for dinner. We had Creamy Lemon Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Harvest Pie, Texas Hot Cocoa Cake and Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies!!! My nephew almost made a Pecan Pie as well but we were lacking one of the ingredients for that recipe but no it wasn't the pecans! ;)
I hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving and has lots to be thankful for I know we do. :) Wonderful family and friends that God has placed in our lives!
UPDATE: The ham actually never made it out of the refrigerator! :) So it spent the 3.5 days we were gone in the safe in the refrigerator!! :)
